Family function is the ability of the members of the family to interact harmoniously among themselves. An important factor to consider when talking about family function is intrapersonal emotional intelligence, since individuals who had a safe attachment style in childhood have adequate levels of intrapersonal emotional intelligence and show higher levels of well-being. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between family function and intrapersonal emotional intelligence in children from urban public schools in the city of Cuenca in 2022. The research was developed from a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional and correlational scope, applied on a sample of 92 students aged between 9 and 11 years old. A database was used that applied the Family APGAR questionnaire, TMMS-24 scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results revealed that the predominant family function category was normal family function. Besides, no statistically significant differences were found between sex categories in any of the dimensions of intrapersonal emotional intelligence and emotional repair was the predominant. It is concluded that there is a positive relationship of moderate and low level in most of the components of family function and the dimensions of intrapersonal emotional intelligence.
